Let&apos;s try this...

So no real surprise, my computer is broken again. Apparently I downloaded a virus, even though I never downloaded anything. I don't get it but Mark has once again confiscated my computer.

I decided I will try using blogger for my phone. I could use the iPad but it really annoys me.

After some discussions today about what we want for 2012 and planning a vacation, Mark and I are really going to buckle down our spending. I am very aware that I am the spender. Anything I see for Eliza, I buy. So we are going to start this buy doing "just don't do it January" this is similar to "no spend November" which I totally failed at. We have agreed we will not go out to eat and I will not buy anything for Eliza that isn't required for her health or daily essentials.

I am also going to try to make a monthly meal plan. Hopefully this will keep us from going out to eat, and help when I coupon shop.

I really hope this works, I know we only have ourselves to blame if it doesn't, but we need to find a simpler way of life.

Throughout January you will see updates and some money saving tips from me along with my normal updates and crafts.

If you have any money saving tips please feel free to share!!

Here is a picture of Eliza to make you happy. We went to a Christmas event locally with my sister, here we are in the sleigh!!
